▼ This dissertation draws on the context of an elite suburb in order to understand the transmission of privilege and how an elite space – and its residents – respond to inequality. The suburbs occupy a complicated role in the narrative of U.S. inequality and racial residential segregation. While many of the first suburbs were explicitly upper class retreats, and later government-funded communities for white, middle-class families, today there are many kinds of suburbs – some poor, some rich, some racially heterogeneous, and others not. Urban scholars often ignore the relationship between cities and their surrounding suburbs, and while community scholars provide us with an understanding that “place matters,” few studies investigate this ethos in suburbia. I use ethnographic fieldwork and in-depth interviews to highlight the community of Newton, MA in order to build a greater understanding of U.S. inequality and the transmission of privilege. For the purpose of this dissertation, Newton can be rightfully classified as an elite suburb given its subjective distinction among residents (e.g. as a “bubble”), as well as its objective characteristics as elite regarding its typology, scholarship, history, geography, and demography. Adult residents, the City, and the schools all offer distinct responses to inequality. While these actors position themselves differently towards Newton, I posit that each attempt to whitewash inequality – a disposition towards inequality that attempts to eschew responsibility while simultaneously maintaining a privileged position. Whitewashing inequality is accomplished, in part, through an adherence to the tenets of the diversity ideology – a racial ideology that centers an understanding of race based on the experiences of Whites and their ability to diffuse the meaning of difference. Youth growing up in the “bubble” of Newton, are faced with the task of sorting through the adult responses to inequality in order to find their own sense of self within the community. The task of weighing the pros and cons of the community is most evident in youth response to the question of returning to the community, or not, as adults. Even for those desiring to return, there is a normative sense of first needing to flee the homogeneity of Newton, in order to experience life “outside of the bubble.” In the second empirical chapter I explore in depth the ubiquity of privilege within Newton. Adults and youth define privilege in ambiguous ways that often point to the “super rich” as responsible for perceptions of the community as a wealthy place. While privilege is defined ambiguously, it most often refers to socioeconomic status, thus avoiding racial privilege and taking for granted educational privilege. The ambiguity and ubiquity of privilege fuel important tensions that reinforce, rather than challenge the community’s privilege. In the second chapter I illustrate the “in but not of” experiences of people of color in Newton, and the “stress culture” students experience around academic achievement.

O objetivo central deste trabalho foi estudar a difusão e o controle de armas no termo de Mariana nas três primeiras décadas do século XVIII, assim como o papel que as mesmas representavam no processo de distinção dos indivíduos em uma sociedade marcada pela cultura de Antigo Regime. Nesse sentido, tentamos compreender os princípios da atuação da coroa através da legislação sobre as armas, sua expressão na colônia e o perfil da distribuição de armas entre os colonos. A análise das evidências empíricas nos permitiu observar que, apesar da intenção por parte das autoridades no sentido de controlar o uso de armas, havia uma disseminação significativa desses instrumentos em relação aos vários segmentos da população. Notamos uma maior concentração dos armamentos sob o poder da elite local, permitindo que esses atores apresentassem melhores condições de prestar serviços em benefício do Império, aumentando suas possibilidades de negociação com a Coroa, na medida em a metrópole dependia da força armada dos particulares para manter a ordem

The central objective of this work was to study the spread and control of arms at the Mariana in the first three decades of the eighteenth century and the role they are in the process of differentiation of individuals in a society marked by the culture of Ancient Regime. In this sense, we try to understand the principles of action of the crown through the law on weapons, its expression in the colony and the profile of the distribution of weapons among the settlers. The analysis of evidence allowed us to observe that despite the intention by the authorities to control the use of weapons, there was a significant spread of these instruments in relation to the various segments of the population. Noticed a higher concentration of armaments under the power of local elite, so that these actors had better able to provide services for the benefit of the empire, increasing your chances of negotiating with the Crown, in that the metropolis depended on the armed force of individuals to maintain order

Tese de Doutoramento em Ciências do Desporto

Nas últimas décadas a investigação em natação centrou-se fortemente nos fatores bioenergéticos e biomecânicos tomando-os como principais preditores do rendimento. No entanto, a maioria dos estudos sobre a temática apresenta um caráter transversal, não tendo em consideração o fenómeno da mudança como um processo natural devido ao treino. Foi objetivo da presente tese caracterizar as mudanças no perfil bioenergético, biomecânico e na performance de nadadores de elite, compreendendo as relações estabelecidas entre estes dominios numa perspetiva longitudinal. Esta dissertação divide-se em seis estudos indepedentes que foram realizados com esse propósito. O primeiro estudo centrou-se num processo de revisão sitemática com o intuito de consolidar as evidências práticas dos estudos baseados na temática já publicados. O dois estudos seguintes recorreram a uma análise retrospectiva da performance, de modo a intepretar a sua progressão desde a idade jovem até à idade adulta e ao longo de um ciclo Olímpico. Os três estudos finais de caráter experimental objetivaram determinar o efeito do treino anual no perfil bioenergético e biomecânico, tentando determinar os fatores que mais e melhor contribuiram para a melhoria da performance. As conclusões que advêm do presente trabalho são as seguintes: (i) os poucos estudos longitudinais existentes no domínio da natação apresentam reduzidos índices de qualidade; (ii) os tempos na prova de livres demonstraram uma tendência para começar a estabilizar a partir dos 16 anos de idade; (iii) a performance na terceira época do ciclo Olímpico é determinante dada a elevada estabilidade que é posteriormente demonstrada nos tempos de prova até ao ano Olimpico; (iv) nadadores de elite apenas foram capazes de evidenciar mudanças ténues no seu perfil bioenergético, biomecânico e na performance pelo menos durante dois anos; (v) a magnitude dessa ligeira mudança foi depedennte do tempo de duração do estudo, do tipo de treino efetuado e do nível competitivo do nadador; (vi) cada nadador demonstrou um perfil de adaptação individualizado em resposta ao treino e; (vii) o aumento da capacidade aeróbia e o aperfeiçoamento dos indicadores cinemáticos da braçada, nomedamente na distância de ciclo e frequência gestual, foram os fatores que mais contribuiram para uma melhoria no tempo de 200 m crol em condições de competição. Deste modo podemos concluir que existe uma forma individualizada na maneira como nadadores de elite demonstram pequenas melhorias no perfil bioenergético, biomecânico e na peformance.

In the last couple of decades, research in competitive swimming has given special emphasis to energetic and biomechanical assessment as determinant domains to enhance performance. However, the majority of the studies conducted in this field had a cross-sectional approach, not considering the effect of annual training in the changing process. Thus, the aim of this thesis was to characterize the adaptations in elite swimmers performance, energetic and…

Tese de Doutoramento em Ciências da Motricidade na especialidade de Ciências do Desporto

O Nível Desportivo (ND) é um indicador que permite uma visão global do estádio de desenvolvimento desportivo de um país ou de uma região, que se traduz numa relação entre os praticantes desportivos de base e os praticantes de elite. Essencialmente descritivo, o estudo permitiu efectuar comparações entre o ND de cinco países (Portugal, Espanha, França, Itália e Grécia) e dez regiões (Madeira, Açores, Canárias, Baleares, Córsega, Martinica, Guadalupe, Sicília, Sardenha e Creta) a eles ligadas, buscando diferenças e relações, através de indicadores de desenvolvimento humano e níveis de autonomia política de que cada região é detentora em relação à respectiva metrópole, quantificada através de um modelo original de quantificação. O estudo permitiu também estabelecer uma relação entre o Nível Desportivo das regiões estudadas e a avaliação desportiva permitida pelos resultados dos “Jeux des Îles” promovidos pelo COJI (Comité d’Organisation des Jeux des Îles). O estudo possibilitou estabelecer, através da técnica de correlação Spearman Rho e de comparação Wilcoxon Z, a associação entre os resultados das diferentes variáveis.

Sports Level is an indicator which allows a global vision of the sportive development stage reached by a certain country or region. This indicator expresses the connection between elite athletes (elite) and common athletes (basis). The study focused on a descriptive analysis of data. It allowed the comparison between the Sports Level of five different countries (Portugal, Spain, France, Italy and Greece) and ten of their regions (Madeira Island, the Azores, Canary Islands, Balearic Islands, Corsica, Martinique, Guadalupe Island, Sicily, Sardinia and Crete). The focus was on differences and similarities through the analysis of human development indicators and levels of political autonomy of each region concerning their countries’ own capital. This last indicator was measured through an original quantification model. The study also allowed to establish a connection between the Sports Level of each region and their sportive assessment concerning their results on the “Jeux des Îles” promoted by the COJI (Comité d’Organisation des Jeux des Îles). Through the use of Spearman Rho’s correlation technique and Wilcoxon Z’s comparison it was possible to associate the results of all the variables.

▼ Elite athletes have been reported to experience higher rates of various psychopathology, with the stress of competing at elite levels reported to exacerbate existing pathology (Brewer & Petrie, 1996). In particular, athletes have been noted to be susceptible to experiencing anxiety and depression during the transition out of elite level sport (Lavallee & Robinson, 2007; W. M. Webb, Nasco, Riley, & Headrick, 1998; Wylleman, Alfermann, & Lavallee, 2004), as well as being vulnerable to anxiety and stress during other transitions that they may encounter throughout their careers (Stambulova, Alfermann, Statler, & Cote, 2009). Additionally, elite athletes have been shown to be at risk in relation to their bodies, with athletes reported to have a higher prevalence of eating disorders, sub-clinical disordered eating (Johnson, Powers, & Dick, 1999; Milligan & Pritchard, 2006; Sundgot- Borgen & Klungland Torstveit, 2004), and the Female Athlete Triad – a combination of disordered eating, amenorrhea and osteoporosis or osteopenia (Mendelsohn & Warren, 2010; Schtscherbyna, Soares, & de Oliveira, 2009; Yeager, Agostini, Nattiv, & Drinkwater, 1993), than non-athlete populations, as well as being more susceptible to Social Physique Anxiety (Haase, 2009). Within the sport psychology literature that examines the incidence of psychopathology in athletes, the theoretical construct of ‘athlete identity’ has frequently been positively associated with athletes’ experiences of distress, including in relation to transition difficulties (e.g., Grove, Lavallee, & Gordon, 1997; Lally, 2007; Lavallee & Robinson, 2007; Lotysz & Short, 2004), and the development of disordered eating (Jones, Glintmeyer, & McKenzie, 2005; Papathomas & Lavallee, 2006). Thus, within sport psychology athlete identity is considered to be a theoretically and practically important construct for understanding athletes’ experiences (Brewer, 1993; Brewer, Van Raatle, & Linder, 1993). However, within the extant sport psychology literature, identity has typically been conceptualised as athletes’ level of identification with the athlete role and has traditionally been researched via questionnaire methods or content analyses of interview data. Such methodological approaches have been critiqued for being reductionist and overlooking complexity and detail (Finlay & Faulkner, 2003; Locke, 2004; Wilkinson, 2000), while role theory approaches have been criticised for treating identity as stable and unchanging, and located within the individual (Antaki & Widdicombe, 1998b). Thus, rather than treat identity as an inner identification or essence which then guides subsequent action and behaviour, the present research adopts a discursive psychological approach to exploring identity. From this perspective, identity is instead viewed as located within discursive practices and as produced, ascribed and accomplished within language (Antaki & Widdicombe, 1998b; Davies & Harre, 1990; Edley, 2001). The aim of adopting an alternate approach is to build on the existing sport psychology… Advisors/Committee Members: Le Couteur, Amanda Jane (advisor), Crabb, Shona Helen (advisor), School of Psychology (school).

Bakgrund/problemformulering: Tankar och känslor kring träning och kost bland elitidrottande ungdomar är något som tidigare undersökts i begränsad utsträckning. Därför finns det anledning att ta reda på ungdomarnas egna uppfattningar och erfarenheter inom området. Syfte: Att undersöka hur idrottsaktiva ungdomar som tränar eller tävlar på elitnivå, eller för att nå elitnivå, tänker och känner kring träning och träningsvanor samt kring kost och kostvanor. Metod och design: För denna studie användes kvalitativ metod med deskriptiv design. Data insamlades genom semi-strukturerade intervjuer med fem elitidrottande ungdomar. Kvalitativ innehållsanalys tillämpades. Resultatsammanfattning: Träning var en central del i livet. Starka motivationsfaktorer var den inre drivkraften och träningskompisarna. Skador, sjukdom och andra motgångar påverkade idrottarna negativt. Idrottarna planerade sina måltider för att maximera prestationen. Medvetenheten kring kostens påverkan var hög, likaså kunskapen kring livsmedlen. Mat väckte både positiva och negativa känslor. Omgivningen visades ha betydande roll för idrottarna. Slutsats: Deltagarna i studien var motiverade, målinriktade samt medvetna om sina tränings- och kostvanor. Flera uppgav att det var svårt att lyssna på kroppen, framförallt vid skada eller sjukdom. Vidare forskning, i större skala, är nödvändigt för ökad kunskap inom området.

Background: What elite athlete adolescents think and feel about exercise and nutrition is vaguely examined, why there is reason to investigate the experiences and perceptions among these individuals. Purpose: To investigate the thoughts and feelings about exercise and nutrition among a group of elite athlete adolescents. Methods and design: A qualitative descriptive design was used for this study. Through semi-structured interviews with five elite athlete adolescents, data was obtained. A qualitative content analysis was used. Results: Exercise was central in the athletes’ lives. The biggest driving force was the motivation that came from themselves and their team-mates. Injuries, illness and other obstacles affected the athletes negatively. The athletes planned their meals to maximize the performance. The awareness of the importance of nutrition for performance was high, also the knowledge. Both positive and negative feelings were associated with food. The surroundings played an important role for the athletes. Conclusion: The participants of this study were motivated, determined and aware of their training habits and diet. It was hard to listen to the body, especially when injured or sick. More studies, in larger scale, are necessary to gain further knowledge in the field.

▼ <h1>Abstract</h1> In the past, the main focus of migration studies was the investigation of influences of immigrants on the host society and their integration into the country of settlement. However, transnationalism studies currently place much greater emphasis upon the other side – which is the effect of living in diaspora, in the society of origin with trans-border citizenship. The cultural, social and political interactions and connections between Sweden as a country of settlement and Kurdistan (especially Iraqi Kurdistan), create a transnational social space where the members of the Kurdish elite can play a major role in improvement of Kurdistan. From here, their adoption of a double identity makes it possible for them to permanently define and redefine their position in Swedish society while simultaneously participating in the inherent development of Kurdistan. The merging of the members of the Kurdish elite’s discourse in rebuilding of democracy and development with regard to reconstruction, leads to more focus on the role of diaspora and understanding the Swedish Kurdish elite’s impact on “functionalizing” and major contribution in the current state of Kurdistan. The ways of expression, increasing academic value, multicultural behavior, and the elite’s activities in civil society organization in between two or several states, their appearance in the international scene, experiences of living in both host / home societies, and multi-relations in a diasporic context continuing and re-adjusting national identities are essential indications of trans-border identity formation of Kurdish diaspora. After the liberation of Kurdistan (northern Iraq 2003), members of the Kurdish elite experienced transnationalism mainly through transferring their success in performing various activities for their homeland and at the same time integrating more into the host countries that received them. During this research, the researcher met and interviewed a number of members of Kurdish elites who had very interesting stories about the Kurdish diaspora, and more especially the important role they play in the transnational space that connects the Kurdish homeland to many European countries and the United States. Using a phenomenology method, the researcher classifies the elements that can characterize the practices of Kurdish diaspora elite as transnationalism. Sweden is one of the main countries where the Kurdish elite diaspora gathered and are organized to contribute to the development of Kurdistan. Since the Kurdish diaspora is the largest nation that lacks a state, the Kurdish diaspora has formed a long-distance nation in host country.

The primary aims of this thesis were: (i) to examine motivation-related and mental health variables among elite athletes; (ii) to quantify changes in motivation-related and mental health variables among elite athletes over time; and, (iii) to investigate the associations between motivation-related and mental health variables among elite athletes at baseline and over time. Seven psychometric inventories were administered to 325 athletes across 14 teams in six sports throughout Ireland: Sport Motivation Scale II; Perceived Motivational Climate in Sport Questionnaire II; Basic Need Satisfaction in Sport Scale; Profile of Mood States – Brief; Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomology – Self Report; Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index; and, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory – Y2. Data collection continued for the full competitive season. Based on standard instructional sets for the inventories, motivation, motivational climate and basic needs satisfaction were assessed quarterly, sleep quality and anxiety symptoms monthly, and total mood disturbance (TMD) and depressive symptoms weekly. Overall, the athletes reported adaptive motivational patterns, with scores indicating high self-determination, perceptions of a task climate, and satisfaction of basic needs. They also reported low (good) TMD and anxiety symptoms, but elevated depressive symptoms and poor sleep quality. Results of cross-sectional structural equation modelling (SEM) reinforced previously supported pathways between motivational climate, basic needs, and motivation. Additionally, controlled motivation regulations were positively associated with the four mental health outcomes, while integrated regulation had a negative association with anxiety, and intrinsic regulation had a positive association with depressive symptoms. Longitudinal data for both student-athletes and club athletes revealed that motivationrelated variables were predominantly stable, while mental health outcomes improved over time. Significant associations between baseline motivation-related variables and later mental health variables reinforced previous research and some pathways in the SEM. Associations between baseline mental health variables and later motivation-related variables suggest that these relationships may be reciprocal, indicating further interconnectedness between these two areas. The data underscore the complexity of motivation and mental health among athletes, and highlight the importance of considering the influence of motivation on athlete mental health. Implications for working with student-athletes and club athletes, and considerations for psychological monitoring are presented. To this end, the present research reinforces and extends previous research in sport psychology, providing insights for both researchers and practitioners.

Accurate monitoring of training load (TL) and external loads from athletic and lifestyle demands has been promoted as essential in defining the relationship between load, illness and injury risk in athletes (Soligard et al., 2016; Schwellnus et al., 2016). Furthermore, according to Fry et al., (1991), a multi-faceted monitoring system should be applied to effectively evaluate training responses and include physiological, psychological, biochemical and immunological markers. Therefore, the aim of this research was to develop, implement and evaluate a multi-faceted athlete monitoring system for Paralympic athletes and determine if this can effectively identify the responses to training and competition. Study 1 examined the athletic response to training using sRPE and subjective wellness measures and the relationship with incidence of injury and illness across three training seasons in Paralympic footballers. Multi-level analysis identified increases in measures of weekly TL (11%), training monotony (36%), cumulative 2wk TL (12%), cumulative 3wk TL (8%) and ACWR (29%) to be significantly associated with illness occurrence in the following week. Specific TL variables have now been identified which may reduce the number of training days lost to illness when included in a multi-faceted monitoring system. Despite a 3% increase in TL measures, none were found to be significantly associated with injury occurrence. Having examined a field-based team sport, study 2 determined the validity of the sRPE method for quantifying internal TL in Paralympic swimmers. Significant high to very high positive correlations were observed between sRPE and Banister’s TRIMP (r = 0.68, p < 0.01), Edward’s TRIMP (r = 0.66, p < 0.01) and Lucia’s TRIMP (r = 0.74, p < 0.01) in all four swimmers. Study 3 expanded on study 1 to increase the number of markers used to include sleep quality, sleep quantity, mood, energy and muscle soreness and examined the athletic response of Paralympic swimmers across a 48-week training season. Multi-level analysis identified illness occurrence was associated with increases in weekly TL (22%), cumulative 2wk TL (16%) and ACWR (24%) in the preceding week. A 28% increase in training monotony in the preceding week was observed to be significantly associated with injury. Finally, Study 4 examined the relationship between TL and salivary biomarkers IgA, alpha-amylase (AA) and cortisol during training and high-level competition in Paralympic swimmers. Results identified a dose-response relationship between TL and salivary biomarkers, thus supporting their use as an objective measure of internal TL in Paralympic swimmers. TL variables for Paralympic swimmers and footballers have been identified when monitored may reduce the number of training days lost to illness. Regarding injury, this research observed an increase in training monotony of 28% to be significantly associated with injury amongst Paralympic swimmers, thus should be included in an athlete monitoring system to…

Este trabalho tem por objetivo compreender o processo de inserção social e política de famílias de origem alemã na sociedade santa-mariense durante o Império e momentos iniciais da República, abrangendo um período de aproximadamente 60 anos, da chegada das primeiras famílias de imigrantes alemães à Santa Maria por volta de 1830, até a proclamação da Constituição Rio-Grandense de 14 de julho de 1891. Através de uma diálogo com a micro-história italiana e fazendo uso de ferramentas metodológicas da prosopografia, iremos traçar o perfil coletivo de 47 alemães da elite de Santa Maria, pertencentes a 16 famílias locais, reconstruindo as trajetórias individuais e coletivas de alguns daqueles sujeitos, numa análise verticalizada, rastreando suas estratégias de inserção social, como vínculos familiares e de negócios, redes de relações e compadrios, as atividades econômicas que desempenhavam e a atuação na política local. Neste exercício metodológico, elaboraremos um questionário biográfico, com questões que serão aplicadas de forma padronizada à documentação e bibliografia referente a cada personagem do grupo delimitado, constituindo o banco de dados que guiará nossa análise.

This work has for objective to comprehend the process of social and political insertion of german families in Santa Maria s society during the Empire and the first moments of Republic, covering a period about 60 years, since the first families of German immigrants had coming to Santa Maria around 1830, until the proclamation of the Constitution Riograndense July 14, 1891 . Through a dialog with the italian micro-history and utilising the metodology called prosopography, we will reconstruct the collective profile of 47 "germans" from Santa Maria s elite, belonging 16 local families, remaking the individual and collectives trajectories of some characters, in a vertical analysis, tracking their strategies for social inclusion, such as family ties and business, networks relationships, the economic activities that they developed and their performances in local politics. In this metodological exercise, we will elaborate a biographical questionnaire, with questions that will be apply in a standardized way for the documentation and bibliography about one each of characters from delimited group, constituting the database to guide our analysis.

▼ Este trabalho de pesquisa consiste em discutir a integração de sujeitos mestiços na elite colonial em Pernambuco no século XVIII, principalmente no Recife e em Olinda, tentando tornar compreensível o contexto de mestiçagem e tensão social em que viviam indivíduos e famílias, assim como as diversas estratégias utilizadas por esses mestiços para se inserirem socialmente. Como ponto de partida da nossa abordagem procuramos focalizar a atenção para o significado e a abrangência do termo pardo, em Pernambuco, buscando ressaltar suas particularidades e diferenças, comparado às demais regiões do Brasil. Na sequência tentamos mostrar, através de uma análise de registros de casamentos, documentos da câmara, cartas patentes, Compromissos das irmandades, dentre outros, que muitos pardos se fizeram notáveis. Alguns dos quais receberam mercês da Coroa, fizeram parte das Ordens Terceiras; outros foram grandes comerciantes, militares, senhores de engenho, oficiais da Câmara do Recife, funcionários reais. Cada qual buscou, a sua maneira, melhor se apropriar das diversas oportunidades que a inserção em determinada teia de relações permitia. Através da trajetória de indivíduos e famílias pardas, a narrativa que segue busca reconsiderar e reavaliar interpretações sobre a composição da elite Pernambucana setecentista. Aqui defendemos a ideia que tal elite não tinha uma cor específica. Muitos sujeitos mesclados também estavam posicionados no topo de uma hierarquia social. A intenção não é mostrar exceções de sujeitos pardos em estado de mobilidade ascendente, mas possibilidades, em meio à dinâmica colonial. A trajetória dos legados aqui pontuados demonstra que a hierarquia social não era rígida; existia uma mobilidade que era possível através de inúmeras estratégias utilizadas por muitos sujeitos de cor.

Il s’agit dans ce travail d’étudier la formation et les transformations d’une élite urbaine à travers le prisme du cabildo de Puebla de Los Angeles en Nouvelle-Espagne, ville fondée par les Espagnols en 1531. L‘élite, qui se met en place dans les premières années, est essentiellement issue du monde des conquistadores. La charge de regidor est alors une grâce royale reçue en récompense de leur participation à la conquête. Des relations étroites se nouent entre les différents regidores qui, rapidement, forment un même clan familial dominé par les Díaz de Vargas et les Villanueva. Mais à partir de 1591 et la mise en place de la vénalité des offices, les cartes sont redistribuées. De nouveaux membres issus d’autres groupes sociaux et économiques entrent au cabildo : les obrajeros et les mercaderes. S’ensuivent des tensions entre les différents groupes et une recomposition de cette élite non plus sur des bases militaires mais économiques, recomposition impulsée par des stratégies familiales diverses. La formation de cette nouvelle élite, dominée par les mercaderes, n’a pas entrainé la disparition de l’ancienne, au contraire, elle lui est nécessaire pour acquérir le statut social qui lui manque. Ainsi ce nouveau groupe de regidores plus hétérogène rassemble toutes les composantes de l’élite économique et sociale de la ville de Puebla : conquistadores, obrajeros et mercaderes.

The goal of this contribution is to study the construction and the evolution of the elite through the structure of the "cabildo" of Puebla de Los Angeles in New Spain. This city was founded by spaniars settlers in 1531. The elite that was stablished during the very first years is essentially composed by spaniards conquerors. The office of "regidor" is then a royal grace received as a reward for their participation in the conquest war. Very close relationships are established between the different regidores who, quickly, form the same family clan dominated by the Díaz de Vargas and the Villanueva. But as of 1591 and the establishment of the venality process of the offices, the cards are redistributed. New members from other social and economic groups enter the cabildo: the obrajeros and the mercaderes. There follows tensions between the different groups and a recomposition of this elite no longer following military bases but economic, recomposition driven by different family strategies. The composition of this new elite, dominated by the mercaderes, did not lead to the disappearance of the old one. On the contrary, it is necessary for the new power class to acquire the lacking social status. Thus this new group has all the components of the new economic and social elite of the city of Puebla: conquistadores, obrajeros and mercaderes

▼ Despite government’s formation of financial support grants such as the Operational Excellence Programme to provide much needed assistance, South African elite athletes have not been performing to expectation at recent international championships, such as the Olympic Games. International experiences demonstrate the importance of a well-structured and implemented funding support system to improve elite athlete performance at international levels. This has led to questions of how to improve this situation for elite South African athletes who receive funding support from the South Africa Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee and to revisit the implementation of the funding support for elite athletes. This study will take, experiences of South African elite athletes as well as sport managers into consideration and will also look at international lessons of experience of the funding support of elite sport to provide improved options for financial support and elite athlete development. Using qualitative research methods, this study explored the underlying factors regarding funding support of elite athletes in South Africa based on experiences and perceptions of elite athletes. Within the context of the study, elite athletes would refer to senior track and field athletes and senior swimmers who had been a part of Team South Africa and represented the nation at international competitions. Data was collected in three ways: a) A literature review in the form of an analysis of the high performance policies of: the National Olympic Committee of South Africa and the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee that has governed elite sport in South Africa post 1994 and the policies that govern high performance funding support within Athletics South Africa and Swimming South Africa; b) interviews with eight preselected elite athletes to discuss career performances and funding support received and c) interviews with four coaches/managers of the preselected elite athletes to discuss their perspectives on the funding support their athletes received. Strict ethics considerations were also adhered to insofar as written consent was obtained from all participants beforehand, as the intended interviews would be either audio recorded or video recorded. Pseudonyms were also used for participants with the assurance that participation was voluntary. The eventual findings of the study brought to light that the implementation of the funding support provided by the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee was good in theory but not necessarily so in practice. Overall, participants were grateful for the support received but felt that certain changes needed to be considered going forward for the improvement of future performances.

Comment l’Etat-Parti chinois renouvelle-t-il son élite et maintient-il sa cohésion dans la période post-Maoïste ? Il s’agit d’une question fondamentale pour comprendre l’évolution du système politique chinois. Or, les explications fournies par la littérature sur la question sont loin d’être satisfaisantes. J’aborde ces questions à travers une étude unique du rôle joué par la Ligue des Jeunesses Communistes dans le recrutement et la promotion des cadres de l’Etat-Parti depuis les années 1980. Je montre que du fait de la situation politique de l’après Révolution Culturelle et des besoins en jeunes soutiens de certains dirigeants, un système de « mobilité sponsorisée » s’est développé afin de renouveler l’élite politique chinoise. Des étudiants sont recrutés dès l’université et formés par les organisations de jeunesse du Parti. Ils sont alors placés sur une filière de promotion rapide, avec des opportunités de carrière et de formation uniques. Ce qui les conduit à des postes de dirigeants au sein de l’Etat-Parti. Par ailleurs, à travers les différentes étapes du processus de « mobilité sponsorisée », les jeunes recrues développent un rôle spécifique en tant que futurs cadres dirigeants et transforment leurs cercles de sociabilité. En conséquence, ils renforcent leur engagement politique et donc leur intérêt personnel à la survie du régime. Enfin, la nature décentralisée de l’Etat-Parti, et de ses organisations de jeunesse ; rend difficile pour les jeunes recrues d’établir des groupes cohésifs qui pourraient s’organiser contre l’Etat-Parti lui-même.

How does the Chinese Party-State renew its political elite and maintain its cohesion in the post-Mao era? This is a key question in order to understand the evolution of China’s political system and still the explanations one can find in the literature are far from satisfactory. I approach these questions through a unique account of the role played by the Chinese Communist Youth League (CYL) in terms of cadres’ recruitment and promotion since the 1980s. I show that due to post-Cultural Revolution politics and the need for leaders at the time to recruit loyal young cadres, a “sponsored mobility” system was developed to renew the Party-State’s elite. College students are recruited and trained through the Party’s youth organizations. They are put then on a unique promotion path, which includes specific opportunities and trainings, and which leads them to leadership position in the Party-State. In addition, through the various steps of the sponsored mobility process, the young recruits develop a specific social role as future officials and transform their social circles. As a result, they cultivate a political commitment to their career in the Party-State and to the survival of the regime. Finally, the decentralized nature of the Party-State and its youth organizations make it difficult for the young recruits to establish cohesive groups which could organize against the Party-State itself.

Esta tese analisa a presença dos negros na alta burocracia brasileira que exerciam no período entre 2003-2010, cargos de Direção e Assessoramento Superior (DAS) nos mais variados ministérios e, principalmente, na Secretaria de Políticas de Promoção da Igualdade Racial (SEPPIR) e na Fundação Cultural Palmares. A hipótese central aqui defendida é a de que os mesmos podem ser considerados elites burocráticas nos moldes daquilo que Wright Mills denominou como “método posicional”. O estudo focalizou num grupo de 104 negros que ocupavam cargos de confiança na administração federal em Brasília por ser essa cidade considerada o centro do poder. A partir daí, por intermédio da prosopografia se analisou os dados relativos à trajetória social e políticas destes negros que compõem a alta burocracia brasileira, bem como a sua relação com os movimentos sociais, partidos políticos, sindicatos e sociedade. Além disso, conhecer a sua formação acadêmica, formas de recrutamento, experiência profissional, relevância do cargo ocupado e então, traçar uma radiografia destes negros que ocupam ou ocuparam cargos no governo federal e verificar se existe um caminho para as posições de poder semelhante a outros grupos de elite no Brasil.

This thesis analyzes the presence of blacks in Brazilian high bureaucracy exercised in the period between 2003-2010, Director of positions and Superior Consulting (DAS) in various ministries and especially the Secretariat for the Promotion of Racial Equality (SEPPIR) and the Palmares Cultural Foundation. The central hypothesis defended here is that they can be considered bureaucratic elites along the lines of what Wright Mills termed as "Positional method". The study focused on a group of 104 black held positions of trust in the federal government in Brasilia to be this city considered the center of power. From there, through the prosopography analyzed data on the social and political trajectory of these blacks who make up the Brazilian high bureaucracy, as well as their relationship with the social movements, political parties, trade unions and society. Also, know your academic background, forms of recruitment, work experience, relevance of the position held and then draw a radiograph of those blacks who hold or have held positions in the federal government and whether there is a way for the similar positions of power to other elite groups in Brazil.

▼ I examine media coverage of the economy and ask two fundamental question. Does news coverage distort economic reality? And, if so, what factors contribute to distortions between economic reality and media coverage? In this dissertation, I examine economic news coverage and test for evidence to support theories that economic news coverage is primarily A) Unbiased and rational, B) Universally ideologically biased in favor of one party or the other, C) Variable ideologically biased depending on the slant of the news outlet D) Institutionally biased due to reporters’ preference for stories that adhere to media norms and values or E) Some combination thereof. I conduct this analysis by collecting and coding an original dataset of unemployment news coverage in nine major news sources over 15 years. The final analysis includes 1,674 articles and nearly 10,000 quotes. In Chapter 2, I evaluate the frames journalists use in newspaper headlines. I test the hypotheses that reporters frame similar unemployment situations differently at different points in time due to factors such as political context, electoral proximity, ideology of the president and ideology of the newspaper outlet. After accounting for objective economic conditions, I find evidence for universal ideological bias across newspapers. Reporters write more negative headlines when Republicans control the Whitehouse. I also find several pieces of evidence for institutional bias. First, headlines become disproportionately more negative when unemployment goes up, as compared to when unemployment goes down. And second, the power balance in government affects the way headlines are framed. Headlines are more negative, more likely to be prospective (forward-looking), and less likely to be framed as a surprise when government is divided. In Chapter 3, I evaluate the rhetoric reported in unemployment news stories. I once again test the hypotheses that that reporters frame similar unemployment situations differently at different points in time due to factors such as political context, electoral proximity, ideology of the president and ideology of the newspaper outlet. As in Chapter 2, I find ideological bias for more negativity during Republican presidential administrations. I also find evidence that the news media’s institutional preferences for negativity, conflict and novelty all play in role in biasing the reporting of economic rhetoric. In Chapter 4, I collect and code a secondary dataset of congressional press releases to analyze how reporters select rhetoric for newspaper articles. I investigate whether the substance of the message or the newsworthiness of the messenger affect the likelihood of media coverage. I test the hypothesis that institutional bias based on reporters’ preferences for balance, authoritative voices, impact, and negativity will lead them to cover certain messages and messengers more heavily. I find little support for institutional bias in the selection of congressional rhetoric. I find that congressional press releases rarely receive media… Advisors/Committee Members: Eric Plutzer, Dissertation Advisor/Co-Advisor, Eric Plutzer, Committee Chair/Co-Chair, Suzanna Linn, Committee Member, Michael Barth Berkman, Committee Member, John W Gastil, Outside Member.

▼ Recent studies on networking, social capital and elites have done much to expand academic knowledge in each of these topic areas. Elites are defined in several ways, including their attributes and their use of and access to power. However, far less research has been conducted on how those attributes and/or power are used by local political elites. A great deal of research has also been conducted on social capital, what it is and how it can benefit society, but less work has been done on the local politician’s individual production and use of social capital. Despite the important role that networks and networking play in producing social capital, local elite networks thus remain largely unexplored. We know little of how their networks are constructed and used in the pursuance of status and less on how the elite adapt the use of their networks in response to socio-economic change. In focusing on the construction and use of social capital networks by the Borough Aldermen and Councillors in Northampton over the longue durée, this work redresses those shortcomings. The research uses a large number and variety of sources which provide a wealth of qualitative and quantitative data with which to explore elite networking and social capital in the town. The work contributes towards furthering academic knowledge on how elites gain maintain and propagate status. The research reveals that the elite use two different constructs of networks, each of which provides different benefits for the user. It is the symbiosis of these networks which enables the political elite to respond to socio-economic and political events. The research also finds that overlapping networks produce the largest exchange of social capital, which is translated into gaining and maintaining status. It is clear that, over the longue durée, the importance of business networks in producing social capital has drastically reduced, and has been replaced by the growing importance of political association membership. It is also evident in the research that the expansion of formal institutions in the business and political arenas has led to individual Councillors and Aldermen making strategic choices. Using a market mentality of returns, they decide which networks give greater social capital and are thus more valuable and useful in gaining and maintaining elite status.

▼ Training stress in the absence of adequate recovery has been associated with a decrease in well-being and performance. Thus, there is potential for the high training and competition loads that elite English youth football players experience to have a negative effect on wellbeing and performance. The aim of the thesis was to assess the utility of well-being and physical performance assessments in managing the development of elite English youth football players. The first study (Chapter 4) examined the sensitivity of a subjective well-being questionnaire (WQ; developed ‘in-house’ by sport science practitioners at a category two academy and only taking < 30 s to complete), by comparing the player’s next day responses between two acute training bouts of varied duration; 15 mins (low load) compared to 90 mins (high load) high intensity intermittent exercise (Loughborough intermittent shuttle test, LIST). WQ items showed small to large deteriorations following the high load compared to low load (d=0.4-1.5, P=0.03-0.57). The ability of the WQ to differentiate between responses to high and low training loads indicated that this questionnaire could be used to detect training induced stress prior to training on a daily basis throughout the season. Other modes of monitoring assessment evaluated were either not sensitive to differentiate between high and low loads (countermovement jump; CMJ) or detected differences between high and low training load responses (HR indices) but lacked utility in detecting individual changes. The second study (Chapter 5) applied well-being and physical performance assessments to elite English youth football players during a high intensity, low volume pre-season training period. Trivial changes in perception of WQ items of sleep, recovery, appetite, fatigue, stress and muscle soreness were observed across weeks (P=0.35-0.93, 2 P  =0.02-0.08) with no negative WQ responses evident. Internal training load was lower to a large extent in week 1 (P= < 0.001, 2P  =0.54) yet no differences in internal training load were evident across weeks two, three, four and five. Trivial to small associations (r=-0.21 to 0.19) between internal training load and WQ responses were observed. Small to moderate improvements in aerobic performance were evident post training in comparison with pre training (P < 0.001-0.53, d= 0.33 – 0.94) with a large to moderate improvement in submaximal HR measures (P < 0.001 – 0.09; 2 P  = 0.34 - 0.74) observed across the training weeks. Trivial to moderate impairments in neuromuscular performance were evident post training in comparison with pre training (P < 0.001 – 0.21; d=0.17 – 1.00). Collectively, the preservation of well-being prior to each training session during a pre-season period and improvements in aspects of physical performance were indicative of a balance between stress and recovery. The third study (Chapter 6) examined player perceptions of well-being and physical performance across a season in Elite English youth football players. Increases in training exposure (P <…

▼ Pursuing a career as a professional athlete has become a viable option for talented athletes to pursue. However, in their pursuit of athletic excellence many athletes neglect their academic, work and post sport career planning. To help athletes with participation, educational, development and lifestyle issues many countries have developed athlete assistance programs. To achieve the objective of a Winning Nation and help talented South African athletes develop and perform at a higher level the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (SASCOC) plans to establish a national academy system. The role of the academy system is to assist in addressing the demographics of the national teams by accelerating the development of talented athletes particularly those from the disadvantaged groups. To ensure that a holistic approach is taken towards athlete development one of the services that will be provided is life skills training. To develop a successful life skills program, it is essential to identify the important life skills to include. Aim The aim of the study was to explore and identify the life skills necessary for inclusion in Life Skills programs in South African elite sport focusing on the development of adolescent athletes to enable them to grow up competent, healthy and reach their full potential. Design A pure qualitative research design was employed using thematic analysis. Data was analysed through the lens of Positive Youth Development (PYD) theory. Moreover, a semi-structured interview guide, consisting of open ended questions, was developed utilizing the 5 C’s of PYD as themes to facilitate the interview process. Nine current adolescent elite South African athletes, on the MacSteel Maestro’s program, participated in the study. A purposive sampling procedure informed the sampling process and a thematic coding framework was developed to analyse the interview data. Results Findings of the research provided a contribution to the literature in two ways. First, it provided a South African perspective of the life skills needed by elite adolescent athletes. Secondly, it identified the life skills elite adolescent South African athletes deemed important for their holistic development to include in life skills programs in South African elite sport. Time management and self - esteem / self – confidence skills were identified as the crucial life skills to be developed. Conclusion In general it can be concluded that the participants have benefitted from being on the MMP, and that the participants exhibited characteristics of competence, confidence, character, connection and caring / compassion both in and out of sport.

▼ Consensually united elites are said to be very rare and as such limit the possibility for the spread of liberal democracy across the world. In Africa, Ghana presents itself as a case in point, not only because it is one of the most democratic countries in Africa but also the fact that political elites have been accorded the force behind this success. The study therefore examines the place of elite consensus in Ghana’s political landscape by examining the political parties, elections, the legislature and national development planning in the fourth republic. This analysis was made based on a wealth of knowledge provided by numerous scholars on the topic of elite consensus and how this concept is connected to democratic development. Within the Ghanaian political dispensation, based on some operational benchmarks, this study adopted self-perceptions expressed in qualitative, in-depth interviews with a limited number of political party executives, think-tanks, parliamentarians, civil servants and National Development Planning Commission (NDPC) officials. The study found out that political elites in Ghana are very united and as such depicts a horizontal integration of elites as explained by Higley and Burton. This has accounted for Ghana’s envious democratic strides. However, this consensus is only on issues affecting elites and not the citizens which are particularly indicative in Ghana’s legislature and national development planning since the start of the fourth republic. This finding goes against Higley and Burton’s vertically integrated elitism, which suggests a great cohesion between elites and the masses. This then confirms the hypothesis of the study which states that Ghana lacks an enduring elite consensus which has negatively affected national development. In light of these conclusions, the study prescribes some remedies in solving Ghana’s deficits on elite consensus towards national development in the long-run. They include having a third force in Ghana’s political arena, some constitutional amendments, effective civic education, procuring a national agenda on national development planning and effective conflict resolution mechanisms.

Ph.D. University of Hawaii at Manoa 2015.

The sociology of elites has regained momentum in recent decades due to increasing income gaps between the rich and poor throughout the world. In the domains of elite school research, existing studies have examined how children enrolled in these schools acquire a sense of entitlement and/or privilege. However, how the parents of these children come to construct an elite status culture (status work) through their everyday interactions around the school setting is less clear. In the existing stratification research, parents, particularly mothers, had been studied as main agents of class reproduction through parenting practices (class work). I argue in this dissertation research that considering both aspects of class and status work is important because women with children simultaneously play two roles in the household—class reproduction and status enhancement. For a case study, I observed the preschool section of an ‘international school’ in Tokyo, called Wakana International School, a new type of new-elite school in Asian countries, which has been actively sought out by local privileged families to help prepare their children to achieve upward social mobility in the global stratification hierarchy. I followed local affluent families, in particular the mothers (Wakana mothers). I focused on their transnational education practices in Tokyo and Hawai‘i from 2011 to 2014. My findings reveal that these local affluent families chose Wakana according to their respective class trajectories, as a consequence of the interplay between their volume and composition of economic, cultural and social capital, and the elite tracking structure in Tokyo. Once admitted to Wakana, they engaged in 'transnational class and status work' by cultivating their child's global and national cultural capital through transnational education practices with the objective of raising their child as a new elite in this changing economy. In the process, they came to acquire a disposition of being at-ease in their 'status work' as new elite mothers. Their new elite disposition, shaped by their mobile, free, cosmopolitan and extravagant styles of life was obtained as a result of assuming institutional responsibilities, and by meeting expectations and conforming to the morals of international schooling.
